When a popular music director turns movie director,he runs the risk of raising the expectations of the cine-goers.Again,in such a situation,Vandemataram Srinivas may obviously be taking multiple responsibilities on to his shoulders by becoming a debutant director with the film Badmash.The film’s muhurat was done at Annapurna Studious on Monday morning and in the presence of the leading pair Naga Siddhardha and Ekta.
Telugu Desam supremo Nara Chandrababu Naidu sounded the clapboard and actor Gopichand switched on the camera.Introduced to Telugu audiences as a playback singer,Vandemataram turned a music director with the support of R Narayana Murthy.Dr.G Nagayya is introducing Vandemataram as a director. The movie is based on a contemporary theme.The hero who appears as a negative character initially,turns positive as the story progresses, announces Vandemataram.The film’s release is tentatively fixed for Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2010.
